I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Fumo, who had been standing there watching Ogata, Kondo and the others leave, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

But this faint smile was mixed with a bit of sadness.

"Genichi, you are right. At any time, the figure of a young man is so dazzling that an old man like me just wants to look away."

"His knee hurts, is there a tea house nearby where you can rest your feet?"

Kyoto, the execution office.

The center of power of the Kyoto government.

At this moment, in a certain hidden room in the enforcement office, bursts of sobbing came out.Grab Grab Grab Grab

In the room, a thick and long hemp rope hangs from the ceiling.

A man in his early 20s was bound to this thick and long hemp rope hanging down naturally.

A white cloth was tied behind his ear to his mouth, preventing him from making any noise other than whimpering.

And in front of this man, stood a middle-aged man who was probably over 40 years old.

Although this middle-aged man is not old, his body is still very strong, and the bulging muscles can be vaguely felt through the kimono.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was holding a knife in his hand, and was facing the knife with a cold light.

After waving a few times in the air, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the young man who was hanging and crying tears of fear.

"Uta, feel happy, it's an honor for you to be beheaded by Bizen Osafune."

The tone of the middle-aged man was quite flat, as if he was talking about a very common and natural thing.

说罢，中年人不带任何犹豫地对身前的这名年轻人使出了“袈裟斩”&21434&21437&32&32508&33402&25991&23398&32&107&97&110&122&111&110&103&121&105&46&99&99&32&21434&21437

"Oh" the middle-aged man waved his knife, shaking off the blood stained on the knife, "As expected of Bizen Osafune, he cut the person in half so easily, no, no, my foot was almost caught by this The dirty intestines are polluted, come here! Clean up the room!"

As soon as the middle-aged man's words fell, there was a loud echoing sound from outside the room.

After retracting the newly purchased precious sword into its scabbard, the middle-aged man strode out of his knife-testing room with the sword in hand.

As soon as he walked out of his knife-testing room, an official walked up to meet him and knelt down in front of the middle-aged man.

"Master Abe, I have something to tell you."

The middle-aged man called "Abe-sama" is none other than Abe Riri, the leader of Kyoto.

"What's the matter?"

As soon as Abe's words fell, the official immediately got up, put his lips to Abe's ear, and whispered a few words in Abe's ear.

When the whisper fell, Abe's pupils shrank slightly.

"The Stegosaurus is back? Is this serious?"

"Really." The official nodded vigorously, "It seems that he was appointed by Shenshan to investigate the murder of 45 people that has continued since last night."

"Go." Abe pondered for a moment, then showed a meaningful smile, "Split some people to capture Mucun for me."

Chapter 305 Rebellious Forbearance A-Ming

"That Kondo should have been thrown away by now." A-cho glanced back a few times.

"Probably." After responding casually, Ogata took out his map to confirm their location while adjusting his breathing.

"It's almost here, Machi, let's go."

After stuffing the map back into his pocket, Ogata looked around.

"Is this the burnt area?"

Ogata felt like he had entered another world now.

As of about 3 minutes ago, he could still see beautiful houses and passers-by walking on the street.

But now, Ogata only saw fragments of ruins.

There are scorched wood everywhere, and there are ruins that have lost their shape.Some tiles and brick walls were burned to black and blue, as if the fire had just been extinguished by rain.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew up, and the broken wall hummed, expressing the pain of being burned at the stake in its own unique way.

Looking around, I didn't see a complete wall or a living person.

Just looking at it with his eyes, Ogata can feel how terrible the dawn that burned 2% of the buildings in Kyoto to ruins two years ago.

"It's so miserable." A-cho, who was standing beside Ogata, sighed softly.

"Machi, let's go."

Ogata and Machi trotted side by side in the deserted streets.

After trotting for a while, the two finally saw the living person.

The first living beings that appeared within Ogata's and Amachi's field of vision were a pair of women crouching behind a brick wall that had been burnt to pitch black.

This woman is one old and one young, and the facial features of the two are somewhat similar, so they should be mother and daughter.

When Ogata and A-Machi ran past the mother and daughter, the mother and daughter immediately looked at Ogata and A-Machi with fearful eyes.

Ogata noticed that after the mother and daughter saw the knife in his waist, the fear in their pupils seemed to become more intense.

Gradually, the two saw more and more residents living in the "burned area".

These people, without exception, are no different in clothing and spirit from those who live in Xiyuan.

Even if no one explained it to Ogata, Ogata could guess what happened to these residents living in the "burned area" Residents who used to live here.

Just now, Fengma also told the two of them: the financial situation of the shogunate in recent years is not good, so there is not much money allocated to the Kyoto Prefecture for disaster relief, so until now, there are still large areas of Kyoto that have not been rebuilt.

Large areas have not been rebuilt, which means that many people are still in a state of homelessness.

"Is it my illusion?" Ah-Ming suddenly asked Ogata at this time, "Why do I always feel that these people seem to be very afraid of us?"

"No, not very afraid of us." Ogata said softly, "I feel that they seem to be afraid of the knife in my waist and they are afraid of the samurai."

"Did the samurai of Kyoto ever do anything terrible to them?"

"who knows"

The two ran all the way along the route drawn by Feng Mo on the map, and finally came to the last three-story building on the route drawn by Feng Mo for them, which was also destroyed by the fire.

Although this small building has also been devastated by the Tianming fire, the overall condition of the house is relatively good, and it still maintains the appearance of a small building. It has not collapsed or collapsed, but the exterior of the house is charred black.

Ogata and A-Ming hid somewhere far away from the small building, constantly watching the small building.

"It should be here." As he said, Ah-cho untied the rifled gun on his back, and began to fill the rifled gun with bullets in a skillful way.

"A-Ming, you stay outside." Ogata said while lifting the big Shitian on his waist, "I can go in alone."

"Are you going in alone?"

"Well. You can stay outside and help me guard."

"I see." A-cho nodded without thinking much, then raised his head and looked around.

"There is no high place around, so let's use that tree to make do with it. Huh? Ayi, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I thought I would make you feel unhappy if I let you stay outside." Ogata said in a half-joking tone.

"Don't be silly. I don't know if I ever told you my motto."

Atachi showed a sly smile at Ogata.

"My motto is to do what is best for you and leave to others what is right for others."

"With my melee level, accompanying you in will only cause you trouble."

"So staying outside obediently and using this Izayoi to warn you is the most suitable thing for me to do."

After finishing speaking, A-Ming raised the rifled gun in her hand.

"Sixteen nights?"

"The name I gave this gun just now. Giving the weapon a name is also convenient for us to call. Because the butt of this gun is engraved with a red crescent moon, so I named it Izayoi, how about it? Not a bad name, huh?"

"It's all right. I'm on it, then."

"En." Ah-Ming nodded vigorously, then quickly ran towards a big tree not far away.

bass.

Ogata pulled out Da Shitian and walked slowly towards the 3-story hut.

There is a row of stone walls around this 3-storey cottage. The original owner of this small building must have a very good family.

Ogata didn't go through the gate of the small building's wall. After all, who knows if the people who occupy this small building have set any traps at the gate.

So just to be on the safe side, Ogata decided to go over the wall directly.

Ogata bit Da Shitian in his mouth, and when he was still a dozen steps away from the wall, he ran up and accelerated.

At the same time as the run-up accelerated, Ogata switched his breathing to "the breath of the source".

Ding!Using "Breath of the Source", temporarily increase the reflex nerve by 5 points, and improve the concentration

Current reflex nerve value: 14 points

Increased concentration

After running to the base of the wall, Ogata jumped up and grabbed the edge of the wall, and then turned over the wall sensitively.

With the blessing of the "basic" Shiranui-ryu stealth technique, Ogata's movements are much lighter than ordinary people.

If you don't listen carefully, you won't hear the sound of Ogata's run-up and the sound of climbing over the wall.

After landing on both feet, Ogata immediately hid in a nearby bush.

I observed that there was no one in the surrounding courtyard.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Ogata took Da Shitian from his mouth, walked out of the bushes slowly, opened the paper sliding door in front of him, and entered the house.

After entering the house, a pungent musty smell immediately entered Ogata's nostrils.

"Okay," Ogata muttered softly, "Where are Inaba's wife and daughter imprisoned by these bastards?"

When Ogata broke into the 3-story hut alone, A-Machi was sitting on the thickest branch of the big tree.

In order to facilitate his own actions, A-Machi had long lifted up the hem of the yukata and put it in his belt.

Spread your legs and bend your knees, put your arms on your knees, hold Izayoi in your right hand, and put Izayoi on top of your left arm.

The left hand pinches the wrist of the right hand, while the right hand holds the handle of Izayoi's gun. The index finger of the right hand attached to the trigger is straightened, and the fingers are in a state where they can pull the trigger at any time to start shooting.

A-cho's eyesight is excellent, and his night vision ability is also excellent. The only regret is that the tree under A-cho's buttocks is not high enough to allow A-cho to perfectly monitor all the movements of that small building. .

"It's a rare thing, but it doesn't work very well." After glancing at Izayoi in his hand, A-Machi muttered displeasedly, "I'll find a chance later and make another iron cannon that is more suitable for me. up"

After muttering like this, Ah-Ming turned his gaze back to the small building not far away, and continued to monitor the whole small building seriously.

However, at this moment, Ah-Machi suddenly heard footsteps coming from his southeast direction.

After looking along the prestige with a confused mind, Ah-Ming's pupils suddenly shrank.

In the southeast direction of A-cho, 4 young men in strange black uniforms were walking slowly towards the big tree where A-cho was staying.

After realizing that A-Ming had noticed the four of them, the person who walked in the front row among the four grinned, showing his yellow teeth at A-Ming, and let out a sinister laugh.

"Finally found you, you rebellious ninja! A-cho, I don't need to tell you, you should know the consequences of betraying Shiranui, right?"

"Of course I know."

There was a flash of astonishment and shock on A-Ming's face, and then he returned to calm, and then jumped down from the tree with Izayoi in his arms.

"Then do you know that female ninjas should not be underestimated?"

Ogata searched the first floor of the hut inch by inch.

After searching, Ogata found nothing.

No figures of Inaba's mother and daughter were found, nor was there any figure.

Seeing that there was nothing to gain from the first floor, Ogata walked towards the second floor with Dashitian in his hand.

Just when Ogata came to the stairs, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a figure moving in the depths of the corridor on the left side of the stairs.

Ogata, who quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, slowly raised Da Shitian in his hand, pointing the tip of the knife at the end of the corridor.

In the depths of the corridor, figures kept shaking.

Finally, the figure showed his figure.
